Lucas & Barba LLP.

Our Philosophy and Approach

Attorneys Cynthia Lucas and Veronica Barba founded Lucas & Barba LLP with the aim of providing high quality immigration expertise to individuals seeking legal representation that is affordable, accessible and reliable. Our firm recognizes that receiving a positive result in an immigration matter is not simply about winning a case, but about empowering the individual going through the process to pursue employment opportunities, a new or more stable life, or peace of mind. We are committed to providing open and honest communication, unwavering advocacy and quality representation to each client. We take the time to explain the process so that our clients have a better understanding of their cases, the law involved and their rights.
